When this oversized dupioni silk fabric was hanging on a rod until it started to disintegrate our client brought it in and asked how we could frame it so they could still enjoy it's beauty while preserving it from further decay. We hand sewed along the top seam line to a cotton fabric in a coordinating color which we then stretched over an acid-free foamcore board. To keep it lightweight we used plexiglass with 99% UV protection and a non-glare coating to protect it from fading. The frame is a contemporary flat face with a light tan line on both the inside and outside edge.
